Polyphenols are increasingly explored as functional components in active and intelligent food preservation systems because of their antioxidant, antimicrobial, and sensing properties. However, their practical performance remains highly variable due to differences in molecular structure, instability under realistic st...

Tannins are structurally diverse food polyphenols whose behavior cannot be predicted from total tannin content alone. This review uses tannin class, linkage chemistry, degree-of-polymerization metrics, galloylation and hydroxylation, conformational flexibility, and oxidation state as a common framework for interpreting...

Processed meat products have traditionally been developed to improve shelf life, microbial safety, and sensory quality; however, recent progress in food technology has expanded their role as potential delivery systems for nutraceuticals. The unique physicochemical characteristics of meat product matrices, including pro...
Starch-based films are promising renewable and biodegradable materials for food packaging. Plant extracts can convert starch matrices into functional films with antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV-barrier, or freshness-indicating properties. This review organizes recent progress by extract category, film design, food applic...

Gellan gum (GG) is an anionic microbial polysaccharide widely used in foods because of its efficient gelation, thermal stability, and ion-responsive structuring. However, the contrasting limitations of high- and low-acyl GG, together with their sensitivity to molecular weight, ions, pH, thermal history, and food-matrix...

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are widely recognized for their nutritional and health benefits, yet their high susceptibility to oxidative degradation remains a major challenge in the development of stable food-grade delivery systems. Protein–polysaccharide-based microencapsulation provides an effective st...
